Keep in mind the local terrain and such.  If you're going to do an empirical test, you need empirical data.  This means weather and temperature off, as these can be unaccounted for variables, and consistent embarks.  I'd suggest a world designed to be 100% flat, with no volcanism and below freezing, and no caverns/HFS/etc.  Then, you can make various sized embarks on various sized worlds and compare data.  It may be required to add biomes to entities, so that they'll settle on glaciers, to run the test about civ counts, but this shouldn't actually interfere with any FPS counts.

Then again, I'm dabbling with a side mod that lets mermaids siege me, and I can capture them and milk them like common cattle.  So, you know, whatever!

This dude is milking mermaids? Where does the milk come out?

"She" you'll notice the GIRLinhat there...

I just added [MILKABLE] and I heard that you can't milk intelligent creatures, so I snipped out [CAN_LEARN] and [CAN_SPEAK] for good measure.  I haven't tested this yet.

On a semi-related note, has anyone done arena testing to compare the craftsdwarfship of armor/weapons?  Will a default shield protect as well as a masterwork shield?  If no, someone (or myself) can start running tests of same-type soldiers with different levels of value to their equipment.

I do not, but I'll double check my Z-Stone when I get back to it.  Working on my vanilla fort atm (except modding ethics).

Either way, project Twin Towers has commenced - the foundations are laid.

I have no idea what you mean, but I'm pretty sure you're going to hell for it.

ok, cannot get my custom reactions and/or my custom stone to work, so I think I'm just gonna speed:0 some dorfs, and mine out some stuff to trade for conveniently colored stones.

No luck on MASONRY, will try merging files.

No, you can't have any structure or another bridge under a drawbridge.  For that matter, you cannot designate channeling or anything under a raised bridge.

I'm having issue modding in these reactions I want.  I want a cheater's workshop that adds free stone (this custom color stone I've made) but it doesn't want to actually add them.  I've got the reactions, stone type, and workshop made, and my entity has all of them permitted, but the unique workshop doesn't have the option for my custom reactions.  For anyone who may know modding, here's the reaction
and the stone itself
which was placed in its own folder for sanity's sake, as well as the reactions getting their own separate .txt file.  Should they be included in an existing file instead?
